Maybe educate yourself on the subject then. A democracy is a government that works in the interest of the majority and is held accountable to the people of the country. A government like that would ensure that everybody had food, housing, healthcare, education, jobs, and retirement the way USSR did and the way none of western "democracies" seem to be able to.
This is such a disengenuous statement dripping with derision. Honestly trotting out this glib phrase is a clear declaration that you're not interested in a good faith discussion.
The vast majority of people in "shithole western countries" would say that this is true of their government. I'm not sure that's true for people living in the USSR.
We have all of those things. Sure they're not directly provided by the government, but the government develops legislation to ensure that the overwhelming majority of citizens have great access to those things. The idea of a food shortage in Australia is unheard of. Was that true of the USSR?
Don't pretend you were ever interested in having any sort of good faith discussion here.
Given the level of discontent in western societies right now, I don't believe you. Meanwhile, as opinion polls show majority of people who lived in USSR now say they prefer the old system after getting a taste of the capitalist paradise.
There are literal tent cities of homeless people growing in many G7 countries each and every year:
CIA says that people in USSR ate just as much as Americans after WW2 period while having better nutrition:
You are really delusional and a liar. I do not believe for one second you grew up in the USSR, not one nano second. If you were present during that that period you would have noticed that these proud USSR population did not walk but ran towards the west and all the things they really wanted. Not what USSR barely could provide (remember the lines before shops? No you don't, you were not there) but what the west could and would provide. You casually forgot that. Well, you could not forget little liar as you lied about being alive and present in that period.
I was and I call you out: liar!
You can't believe that I grew up in USSR and actually liked my life there because you're smooth brained victim of western propaganda. And when you're faced with people who actually lived in USSR and liked it, you're incapable of processing this information. Meanwhile, you can stop calling me a liar, cause I still even have my original USSR passport. Learn to deal with it troll.
You can keep calling me whatever you like, but anybody reading this thread can clearly see that you're just insane.
Nice photoshop lol.
🙄
There are a few too many compression artefacts and the small/strange aspect ratio/resolution of something you would've used a phone to snap a picture of....
Post one with you holding or giving me the middle finger or something and I'll believe you. I'll even go snap one of my Ukrainian passport (I burnt my soviet one). I might have my Polish one somewhere though...
You're such a bad troll, it's hilarious. Maybe learn how jpeg compression works there before playing detective. 😂 Hilarious how you think I'm going to dox myself for you here. You believe whatever you like though, it's pretty clear that you live in your own alternate reality.
JPG compression is supposed to be uniform across the image. It's not in your images case. It's called ELA, and that's a big red flag.
How would posting your middle finger actually dox you?
Thanks for letting us know that you don't understand how jpeg compresison works. 😂 It's not uniform across the image, it compresses similar regions. And enjoy:
